But I got introduced to it on this forum. It became some kind of a running gag hehe.
I am 100% sure that if I had never heard of this purse before, and when I would see it for the first time, I would be like: ...Laaaame...
But now I know for certain that it will go something like this: Daniel! xD
(Just saying:p)

I think that there's a fair chance of seeing it, a point of view encouraged by this news

From what I've seen so far it seems that PJ is making a real effort (mostly) to be true to the book whilst adding in various other canonical and non-canonical bits to provide explanation and background context. With the expansion into three films it's even more likely that little details like the purse will be picked up and used (or at least I certainly hope so!)

Until today, I thought you were just joking about wanting to see the talking purse. Now I am beginning to wonder if you really are that crazy.

I remember it, too. I almost dropped the book and then reread to make sure it said what I thought it said.
Initially I thought it quite silly, but when the dwarves were captured by the elves, I was sure they were going to use it. Then I was sure they would use it against Smaug. Nope. Mentioned one time, then completely forgotten.

Could you explain to me why you love the talking purse so much? 
I want it in... but I don't want it to talk!
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.

you're saying the Talking Purse is to The Hobbit what the Fox was to LOTR? Fair enough, though I admit to having far more fondness for the fox.

Hey, I'd even be happy if the purse was changed to the fox!
I love the small, tiny details. In The Hobbit, it's things like the purse, Bilbo's cold, the Eagle's crown and collars, the Stone Giants, and so on.
I think the fox would've been harder to pull off in the LOTR trilogy. How do you show it thinking?
